It is official: "Will Dazzle" aka "Dezi" has won National Champion Yearling

Dezi has done it. He is the United States top Hunter Yearling. Emily has done such a great job showing him all year, and let his natural talent show through. He's a great mover, and handsome as anything! Even getting a nasty cut just before Devon, which cost us that show, did not stop either him or Emily from the final goal. Champions both!

Thank you Emily! You are the best. And a kiss and a hug to Dezi!

The 2014 USEF final point standings

At Warrenton - August 2014

Warrenton was a tough show, as Kenny Wheeler was surely hoping to best Dezi with his colt as he did at Upperville. But it was a no go for him, as the judges moved him to second, and Dezi into first. A special win for Emily and me. Dezi did it!
